i've been tagged

Since back from Montana I have almost caught up on reading all your blogs, helped my parents begin decluttered their house, and started reading the new Harry Potter. I am officially recovering from my vacation (thank goodness I am unemployed!).

Awhile back Marissa "tagged" me so in reply, this is what I have to say:

Ten years ago:

I was 15 years old and in tenth grade in high school. I played volleyball and ran track (800 meters). I played soccer in the summer. I had braces. I was starting to loose my best girl friend (to her nasty boyfriend). I was in the classic high school mood.

Five years ago:

I was 20 years old and a sophomore in college. This was the year my life changed for the better. I started to make better decisions with school and with my involvement with college. I also started a long distance relationship with Jake!

One year ago:

I was in my last year of graduate school and my last year as a teaching assistant. Second semester of school I moved back home to save money and get away from the annoying girls who had moved into the apartment below me. Living at home again was a blessing.

Yesterday:

I helped my Mom and Dad clean out underneath the steps...OH MY GOSH. We decluttered, organized and chucked some junk! It took us all day.

Today:

Just got back from the DQ and I got to see my friends Meghan and Katie! I caught up on some blog reading and started doing laundry.

Tomorrow:

I want to start working on my photo albums. Go down to Starbucks and visit friends (and pick up tips). Maybe go to the YWCA. Need to go to a work meeting for my apartment building.

Five snacks I enjoy:

Cookies, Blue Chips, Apples and Cheese, Banana Splits, Walnuts.

Five bands that I know the lyrics of MOST of their songs:

This question I do not think I can answer, I am notorious for not knowing the name of a band let alone the lyrics. I like the radio because I can hear all the new songs.

Five things I would do with $100,000,000:

I would start a card shop, I would buy a house for my parents in Minneapolis, I would buy land and build my dream house, I would buy a hybrid car for everyone in my family, and I guess I would go shopping!

Five locations I'd like to run away to:

Italy, New Zealand, California, New York, Maine.

Five bad habits I have:

I procrastinate, I let my dishes build up, I sometimes will not change the toilet paper roll (just set it on top), I procrastinate, I procrastinate.

Five things I like doing:

Take photographs, have Cosmos with my girlfriends, talk on the phone with Jake, write letters, coming home.

Five things I would never wear:

Really lime green, a jumper, really short shorts, pleated pants, tapered jeans.

Five TV shows I like:

The Amazing Race, Survivor, Sex and the City, Six Feet Under, Felicity.

Five movies I like:

Amalie, Hoosiers, Great Expectations, Swiss Family Robinson, Anne of Green Gables.

Five famous people I'd like to meet:

Oh there are too many! Oprah, Julia Roberts, Prince William, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Aniston.

Five biggest joys at the moment:

My trip to Montana, my relationship with Jake, my blog, my current state of unemployment, my upcoming move.

Five favorite toys:

My iBook, digital camera, my handheld solitaire game, my bike, my new Harry Potter book.

Wow, that is harder than it looks! Hope everyone is having a good day!

Wow Anne, I learned a lot about you right there! I didn't know you had braces, your teeth look gorgeous! I don't know if I could've answered all of those questions and you did a great job. I love your idea of buying everyone in your family a hybrid car-that would be so great. I am sure you are happy to be home after your long car rides. Spend some time kicking back and relaxing-you deserve it before your big move.

lime green?
i would never wear that either!
we have a lot in common on our likes and dislikes :)

Jenny said...

Oh that was GREAT, Anne! And I totally agree with the hybrid car. I was checking them out a bit tonight... not that I'll buy a car soon, but it's SO much more responsible. Have fun reading HP. I am going to get mine tomorrow!

Marissa said...

I totally agree with your lime green sentiments! I love learning new things about you! And I hear you...so much harder to write that than you'd think, right???

Cheryl said...

Isn't the book good? Mmmm DQ. Had that this weekend.

Anne that was genius!!!! I may steal that for my blog...I loved it! I didn't know you liked banana splits...hmmmm after all these years....random...

Glad you're having good times back in the city!

Anne said...

Christa---Yup, I had braces. Still have to wear a permanent retainer on my bottom teeth...been there since I was 16!

Still Figuring Out---Oh, how fun!!!

Jayleigh---As soon as I can I am going to buy a hybrid, there is no way I can afford it being unemployed though!

Re-sent Convert---Sounds good. Have fun in Alabama!

Marissa---It is way hard, it practically took me two weeks to complete! ha!

Cheryl---The book is fabulous. At my little DQ we have coconut dillys! They are delicious!

Meg D.---It was so great to see you this weekend! Wasn't that movie (Wedding Crashers) hilarious?!
